The problem is what is the point of buying alternative fuel vehicles if gas costs $2 or $1? (besides nuclear waste battery powered cars that could get unlimited miles and cause major traffic congestion) The republicans don't want to help the environment, they just want to help their pocketbook in the form of cheaper gas for their cars and SUVs and more profits for the oil companies.
And I doubt the supply had much to do with the price increase. It was speculation, worry, and greed that caused that.
